I'm Back (Vanity)

Sorry for the vanity; I tried to send a FReepmail to everyone on my ping lists, but it wouldn't accept multiple names.
Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know that after not posting for several weeks, I'm now back to posting. It's been an "interesting" end of the summer. In August, I was placed on the list for a kidney transplant (not at all unexpected; I've know for several years that I have Polycystic Kidney Disease), and had surgery at the end of August to place an access for dialysis (I'm not on dialysis yet; my kidney function is holding at ~16%). At the end of September, I had emergency brain surgery for a collection of blood between my skull and brain (subdural hematoma). THAT was totally unexpected, but I'm doing well now, and will be going back to work next week. If you sent me a "ping" to send to one of the ping lists that I have, and I didn't send it out to the list, please accept my apologies. I'm just now getting back to my normal routine.

Welcome back!
Hope you get a donor kidney soon. I know much about dialysis and hope it is not in your future.
Best Regards!

Sorry to hear about all that :(
I hope that it all works out in the end.
Please add me to your kidney list.
BTW, FYI, here are some waitlist numbers:
Organ National
Kidney 62,243
Liver 17,392
Pancreas 1,702
Kidney/Pancreas 2,452
Heart 3,137
Lung 3,601
Heart/Lung 168
Intestine 200
Total 88,388
I think it is terrible that the Federal govenrment prevents contracting for organs in a pro market way. A general rule is that whenever there is a shortage of something people are willing to pay for it is caused by government.
Why shouldn't someone who donates their organs get finacially compensated? Who is the Federal government to condemn all these folks to the wait list. What a shame!

Everything's the same,
but some folks have decided
that the 'Rats were right
and Bush either sucks
or he's a tricky RINO
fooling everyone.
GW BUSH is a RINO in every way.

I was just thinking about you the other day and I hadn't seen any pings from you. You have been through so much. You are in my prayers, BC! God Bless You
Welcome Back!

It's good to hear from you, BC! I was starting to get a little worried, as I had not heard from you since shortly after your operation. I hope that things settle down a little bit for you soon.
To: Born Conservative
After reading this, I feel small complaining about anything. I hope everything starts looking up for you. You seem to have the right spirit and that probably helps. It's great that you're able to go back to work (if that's what you want to do.)

Welcome back. I missed you. A subdural hematoma is worse than any dialysis related problems. Poor dear, you've really been through it, haven't you? Here's to us getting our kidneys soon. Keep the faith, though. G-d's timing is best.

When I was 8 years old I was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease and they said I'd need a transplant by the time I was 13. I was lucky and it was a bad diagnosis. As an adult, I've researched quite a bit on this disease and I've learned to thank God every day that it was a misdiagnosis. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
Stay strong, BC. There's a bunch of us who've been reading your posts for years and we're silently behind you. Keep FReepin'.
